[How could I not remember? Lord Dragon Lord is truly amazing. Although he's not tall, his abilities are top-notch.]
[She's petite and cute, I'm a huge fan.]
[I was fortunate enough to be treated by Lord Dragon Lord some time ago, and my difficult ailment was cured in an instant.]
I've heard that the Dragon Lord has developed a miraculous medicine called Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, which can instantly boost one's strength. I wonder if it's true.
"Ahem, everyone's imagination is really rich. But according to the information I got from inside the company, that Dragon Lord does indeed have extremely high attainments in medicine."
"But I'm here today not because Lord Dragon Lord is going to release any medicine like the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, but... for the General's coronation ceremony!"
[A general's coronation ceremony? Wasn't there a rumor circulating in Luofu recently that General Jingyuan was going to pass the throne to Lady Baizhi? But it was later revealed that both of them were envoys, so that rumor was actually false.]
[That's right, that's right, it can't be that General Jingyuan is trying to win a second chance.]
Stop fishing! The pond is already dry.
Upon hearing Jimi's words, the comments section was immediately filled with skepticism. This was mainly because Jingyuan and Baizhi had acted so convincingly before, and now that this kind of thing was actually circulating again, many people's first reaction was that it was fake.
Seeing this, Jimi wasn't surprised and immediately took the microphone and said with a smile:
"When have I, Jimi, ever lied to anyone? Although it is indeed Lady Baizhi who has been crowned general this time, the difference is that General Jingyuan has not stepped down. Lady Baizhi is a newly appointed general!"
"After all, Lady Baizhi is the envoy, and her contributions in this war of abundance are evident to all. It is only natural to appoint a new general."
[That's true, after all, he's a messenger.]
[Doesn't that mean Luofu now has two messengers? Wow, that's incredibly secure! I have a feeling Luofu's property prices are about to skyrocket.]
[As you guessed, property prices in Luofu have indeed skyrocketed, and many wealthy people have made their moves.]
Wow, properties that are available for purchase by outsiders are already subject to sales restrictions. I really envy the locals in Luofu; they've won at the starting line.
"Our viewers are quite business-minded. But as you all have said, Luo Fu now has two envoys, so his safety is naturally guaranteed."
When Jimi said this, he took out his phone and looked at the properties he had invested in in Luofu. When he saw the prices starting to soar, he was so happy he almost floated away.
As the host of the Interstellar Peace Company, he got some inside information ahead of others, which gave him a small chance to make money.
"We can discuss the investment details later. Right now, the important thing is to get to the venue as soon as possible. There might be many important figures attending this general's coronation ceremony."
As Jimi and the cameraman moved, the scene shifted to the entrance of a grotto-heaven located near the Shence Mansion.
After showing his credentials, Jimi and the cameraman entered the venue inside the cave.
"Hey everyone, I've finally made it into the coronation ceremony venue. The guest seats are just ahead, and it looks like many people are already seated. Let's take a picture to see who's there."
As Jimi spoke, he gestured to the photographer to point the camera towards the guest seating area.
"First up is guest seat number one... This guest is really good-looking... Wait, why does he look so familiar? And that sign..."
When he saw the first guest, Jimi didn't have any special reaction at first, but after taking a second look, he felt that the other person's face seemed a little too familiar.
After taking a few more steps forward, and glancing at the nameplate in front of the seats, Jimi's eyes widened.
"It's Miss Ruan Mei from the Genius Club!!"
The barrage of comments exploded at that moment.
[Is it Miss Ruan Mei, and she's in the first seat? Could it be that Lady Bai Zhi and Miss Ruan Mei have a very good relationship?]
[Lord Dragon's pharmaceutical skills are excellent, and Miss Ruan Mei is a renowned biologist in the universe. Both of them have profound insights into biology. Could this be a case of mutual appreciation between geniuses?]
I think that perhaps Lord Dragon Lord is Miss Ruan Mei's student, and that he learned those pharmaceutical techniques from her.
[Master and disciple? That's even better! I've already imagined ten thousand chapters of master and disciple stories in my head. This kind of relationship is the best to ship.]
[Hey, when the people from the Immortal Boat arrive, don't splatter blood all over my face.]
"Ahem, please watch your words."
Jimi gave a low reminder, then turned the camera towards the second seat.
There was no one there; it was an empty seat.
No, to be precise, it was a piggy bank squatting there.
"I feel like I've seen this piggy bank somewhere before?"
Jimi scratched his head.
Before he could even think of it, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder.
"Hey, Jimi, are you filming the guest seating area? The second seat is for our Interstellar Peace Company representative. I'm sitting there as their representative this time."
"That voice?!"
Jimi's eyes widened, and she immediately turned around. "Ah, it's Director Toppa! You actually came too."
"What do you mean I'm here too? I'm only able to attend this event thanks to Miss Bai Zhi; otherwise, it should have been our minister who came."
Chapter 969 The Coronation Ceremony Shocks the Universe
Toppa checked the time. "Alright, the coronation ceremony is about to begin. Jimi, point the camera and show off General Baizhi's charisma."
"Alright, Director, don't worry. I, Jimi, am a seasoned host. I'll definitely make this live broadcast go down in history!"
Upon hearing Topa's words, the snowy owl host immediately stood at attention and patted his chest as if making a solemn pledge.
"Yes, I believe in you. If you do well, you'll get all sorts of performance bonuses."
Toppa instinctively made a grand promise.
Backstage at the ceremony, Qingque pointed to herself incredulously, "Lady Baizhi, you really want me to go up and be the host?"
"I believe you, Qingque. Here, these are the lines. Take them."
Bai Zhi patted Qing Que on the shoulder and gave her an encouraging smile.
"This this……"
Qingque scratched her head, wanting to refuse this unexpected job, but who knew that the host who was originally scheduled would be hit by Xingcha on the road and sent straight to the hospital.
And the task of reading the opening lines before the live broadcast across the entire universe fell to her.
“If you don’t accept the offer, Qingque, I will tell the general that you are very capable and suggest that you be transferred to the busiest departments. I will also explain your abilities to your parents and ask them to supervise you so that you don’t slack off.”
Upon hearing this, Qingque's pupils dilated in shock. "Are you a devil?!"
Having finally managed to secure the sinecure of the head of the Grand Diviner's Office, she had no desire to go to those busy departments and deal with those scribbling kings.
Moreover, explaining one's abilities to one's parents and demanding that they supervise one's reading is the devilish kind of talk.
Is this what happens after you become a general?
Just like General Jingyuan, he could get people to work voluntarily without making a sound.
"Qingque, you don't want your parents to know that you're capable but still slacking off, do you?"
Bai Zhi smiled happily.
"I'll do it, I'll do it, okay? Please don't tell my parents about this."
Under Bai Zhi's tyrannical power, Qing Que had no choice but to submit.
She first quickly glanced through the manuscript, and then changed into a much more dignified outfit.
"Have you memorized it?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised.
"Okay, memorized it. Ah, Lady Baizhi, please don't tell anyone, otherwise if they give me more work, my peaceful life will be disrupted."
Qingque whispered to Baizhi.
Bai Zhi felt she had underestimated Qing Que's abilities. No wonder the Grand Diviner seemed to be grooming Qing Que as his successor; such abilities were definitely beyond the reach of the novice diviners in the Grand Diviner's Office.
"Alright, it's about time now, let's go."
On the huge projection stage, Qingque walked up.
At the same time, the deep tolling of the bell resounded throughout the entire cave.
"With the emblem of the Starry Raft, I inquire of the Milky Way—May the Emperor's Bow shine with glorious might, and may the misty light forever guard the celestial vessel!"
As this sentence was spoken, the projection began to change, showing the scene of the Fengrao people attacking Luofu.
"In the year of Xuanxiao, the Gate of Life of Luofu opened wide, the nine celestial bodies turned red, and the abundant evil tides numbered in the hundreds of millions. Although the Heavenly Iron Array blocked seven of them, ten thousand ships still collapsed like a breached dam. At that time, the Cloud Cavalry was broken, and the masts of the Jade Realm were engulfed in smoke. The evil creatures' claws and teeth had already penetrated into the heart of the Returning Star Harbor."
In the scene, countless people from the bountiful region poured in like zombies, leaving nothing but ruins in their wake.
"Viewers, did you see that? Those are hundreds of millions of people from Fengrao. Even if I, Old Jim, were to encounter one of them normally, I would probably be trembling with fear."
Jimi provided commentary in the live stream.
[Yes, the Abundant People are even more terrifying than the Antimatter Legion. Last time we went to a border planet, we encountered several Abundant People. We beat their bodies to a pulp and buried them in the ground, but they miraculously came back to life a few days later, catching my friend off guard and killing him.]
[That's right, I'm a merchant ship guard. Given the same number of enemies, I'd rather encounter the Antimatter Legion than the Abundant People.]
Enemies with such tenacious vitality are truly annoying.
With so many prosperous people, the Immortal Ship must be severely weakened, right?
[May the Medicine King's compassionate heart lead you to the flourishing of the Jianmu tree; Immortal Boat people, you will be destroyed by us sooner or later!]
The chat room was buzzing with discussion.
The main reason is that Luo Fu did not release specific enemy data before, so many people speculated that there were around 100 million enemies.
But now it seems that the number is much higher than that.
At this moment, Qingque's voice suddenly rose, "At this critical moment, Dragon Lord Baizhi has arrived just in time!"
Suddenly, a celestial dragon appeared in the sky, soaring three thousand feet into the air! Its claws tore apart the skull of its wicked master to make a banner, its tail swept away the remaining evil spirits, reducing them to dust. From the hour of Xu (7-9 PM) to the beginning of Yin (3-5 AM), a torrential rain of blood poured down on the remaining roots of the Jianmu tree.
Bai Zhi, watching all this from backstage, scratched her head. These beautifications were a bit exaggerated. If she were really asked to use her dragon form for hand-to-hand combat, with so many abundant people, she would definitely be exhausted, and the efficiency would be ridiculously low.
However, Qingque seemed to have gotten carried away with her words and continued, "However, the Dragon Lord's benevolence surpasses even his killing prowess! The Heavenly Dragon's chin emitted a pearl of auspiciousness, and a million rays of healing light swept across the twelve grotto heavens."
The wounds of dying soldiers sprouted like lotus blossoms, and the blood coughed up by plague-stricken women and children crystallized into beads. It was with this power that the military fortress was rebuilt, and the Luofu defensive array was restored to its original state!
This sounds as if the God of Abundance has arrived.
[You know what, that Dragon Lord's healing abilities are really exaggerated. I even suspect she might be the Envoy of Abundance.]
[Wasn't there a rumor a while ago that this person was the Balance Envoy? Why are your rumors so inconsistent?]
The sound of war drums gradually rose, accompanied by the sound of the bluebird:
"After deliberation by the elders and marshal of the Immortal Ship Alliance, it is hereby decreed that Dragon Lord Bai Zhi's three great achievements—annihilating foreign enemies, protecting the common people, and rebuilding the barrier—shall be recorded in the Alliance's monument! Therefore, she is exceptionally granted the title of [Divine Capital General]!"
[They're treating us like monsters to farm; we'll definitely teach this guy a lesson he won't forget!]
[She's only relying on the blessing of the demonic bow; without it, she's nothing!]
[Medicine King Ci Huai, do you want immortality? Come and message me! No need for 9888 credits, no need for 998 credits, just a ticket to embrace the Compassionate Medicine King and enjoy a wonderful life.]
[The above has been recorded by the Taibu Si; the celestial warships will be arriving at your location shortly!]
After saying this, Qingque couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This time, she could be considered to have completed the task perfectly. Lady Baizhi was so trustworthy, she certainly wouldn't let her be transferred to those departments with high academic honors.
However, what Qingque didn't see was that Fu Xuan, who was sitting below, was looking at her on the stage with a surprised expression.
"Qingque needs to be given more responsibilities."
Chapter 970 Ruan Mei: Bai Zhi has the talent of a genius.
"Now, let's invite our guest to come up and say a few words."
Qingque paused for a moment, then looked at the first person in the audience. "As you can see, the person sitting in the first seat of our guest section is Ms. Ruan Mei, the 81st member of our Genius Club!"
Upon hearing her name called, Ruan Mei did not resist. Instead, she smoothed her hair and then stepped lightly onto the stage.
"Miss Ruan Mei, hello. I believe many people are curious about how you, as a member of the Genius Club and a great scientist, met General Bai Zhi, and what your opinion of General Bai Zhi is?"
After Qingque finished speaking, she handed the microphone to Ruan Mei.
"Dear viewers, here comes some fresh gossip, this time about Ms. Ruan Mei."
Jimi quickly instructed the cameraman to point the camera at the stage and adjust the audio to ensure that no information was missed.
"That guy Qingque... he makes it sound like an entertainment program."
Bai Zhi shook her head speechlessly, but despite her complaints, this was indeed the standard procedure.
